I picked humility, because it was the best choice in my opinion. I think that acting like Jesus and Socrates is a good thing. I also picked it because it means being humble among other things. There are various virtues that come with humility. One of those could be learning to resolve problems, helping others, and forgiving enemies. Humility could be in the category of mostly all the 13 virtues.
I am going to work on this virtue in many different ways. I will try to help people in their struggles and try to be courteous of others instead of only being involved with only myself. Another thing that I will try to do is practice using the Ten Commandments. This means I won't swear or say any obsene language. Another thing I will do is obey and honor my parents. Lastly I will not steal, even though I don't steal the first place.
Update 1: I have been working on using humility for the past three days. So far I have been trying to help others. Another way that I have practiced humility is by obeying my parents. So far I have obeyed them and did everything that they tell me without talking back. Another way that I have practiced this virtue is avoiding fights with my little brother when he annoys me. I avoid him by mostly ignoring him and I try not to be quarrelsome.
Update 2: So far I have been able to remain humble. The other day someone did something wrong and it made me have to do something that really didn't want to do, but instead of getting mad about it, I kept my cool. I forgave that individual and I found out that he didn't try to do it, so I learned that I shouldn't always think that people try to make mistakes on purpose.
Update 3: Thus far I have used humility to my advantage. The other day I was playing video games with my friend. I always get mad while playing Xbox 360, but I thought of humility and I remembered that I had to stay calm, so I tried my hardest to not loose my cool. I took a deep breath and continued playing. Video games are the hardest issue for me to overcome staying calm, but if I try hard enough, I can do it.
Update 4: Humility has not been on my side lately, although I still have some of it with me. I have been getting mad with people and hiding my frustration. The other day someone turned my computer off in a class and so I turned his off as a joke. After that we began to try and turn off both of our computers. I got in trouble for this, because the teacher only heard me turn the computer off. As a result of this, I wanted to say that it was the other kids fault for turning the computer off in the first place, but i resisted my urges and kept silent. I could have gotten revenge after this event, but I just forgave him and we both moved on. Aaron,
Sounds like you are already making progress. Great!
